Tonight, Aaron drives around a mountain, Jeremy is bleeding out, & Ben is in a ditch in Montana

Welcome to the off-road podcast. A podcast about everything off-road. We cover the news, review products, and interview people in the off road industry.  I’m your host Ben and I’m here with my co-hosts Aaron & Jeremy.

Jeremy – Balanced tires, tried to get the alignment checked.  Spring Contacting Sector shaft brace.  May remove the brace or move the axle back some, haven’t decided. I may need to remove it anyway as it may not work with my track bar.  Re-bled the brakes, still a squishy pedal.  May need to bleed the ABS module or it may be the brake line leak I found.  

Aaron –  Didn’t get my engine.  Had to call the install party off because the wire harness wasn’t going to show up on time.  Took my son to Summer camp.
